How do I create this look (photo attached) a grunge effect over a seal or stamp.

I have looked at every single brush and stamp in illustrator and noting is just giving me what a simple look I am after attached here.... anyone have ideas? I made it in photoshop but I need it to be an illustartor file.

You probably used a layer mask to do it in Photoshop.
You can do pretty much the same in Illustrator. It's called opacity mask.

How do I create this look in illustrator....

I'm recreating some vintage art and am trying to get this spray paint look. Any suggestions on how to go about achieving this look (see photo) in illustrator?
I'm currently running CS4 (I'm on my work computer)....

- I've tried looking in the preset brushes, no luck!
- I've tried creating my own brush using vector spray paint, no luck!
- I've tried looking for illustrator brushes online, no luck!
This seems like a very simple effect to do, I know how to create this look in photoshop but I need this to be vector. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks guys!

First...
There is nothing wrong with a 1-bit diffusion dither object being raster, as far as printing results is concerned. Such images date back to the days of MacPaint and Hypercard. They are same-size (historically usually 1-point) pixels, randomly distributed at varying frequencies to suggest tones (as opposed to individual printer spots being combined to build varying size halftone dots).
So if the tiny squares are vector, yes, they are scaleable. But so are 1-bit pixels. When you scale a 1-bit raster, you're scaling square pixels, which are printed as squares. So a scaled 1-bit raster image is just as "resolution independent" as a bunch of vector squares.
Second...
This effect was employed in illustrations and designs since the very beginning of desktop publishing. For example, I frequently used it in the 80s thusly:
1. Draw a vector path of any shape in FreeHand.
2. Copy it to Photoshop. Blur it. Convert to 1-bit using diffusion dither. Save it as TIFF.
3. Import into FreeHand. Stack it below the object for which it served as a glow or drop shadow.
FreeHand had the ability to apply any color to a 1-bit or grayscale raster image, and the ability to set the white pixels of a 1-bit image to transparent. Illustrator didn't gain those abilities until decades later.
So it's not oppressively tedious to use that method nowadays, even in Illustrator. (And frankly, that's the way I'd do it.)
Third...
Illustrator sorely needs to provided a diffusion dither option in its Rasterize command for 1-bit color depth (as I've been arguing for years) instead of its lame pattern diffusion. Then this effect could be applied easily and quickly to any object, either as a "nailed down" rasterization, or as a live effect.
However...
You can simulate a vector diffusion dither pattern that you can apply to any path by combining several Scatter Brushes and storing their combined application as a Graphic Style:
1. Draw a 1 point square.
2. Store it as a Scatter Brush. Set the Spacing and Scatter settings to Random. To constrain the pattern to one side of the path to which it is applied, set the low limit of Scatter to zero.
3. Duplicate the Scatter Brush two or more times, changing the Spacing and Scatter upper limits in each duplicate so as to make each duplicate Brush increasingly sparse. In the example shown, the first Brush is named Scatter Brush 1 and has its upper limits for Spacing and Scatter to 300. This Brush was duplicated twice, and those two values doubled each time. But of course you can use whatever settings work for the effect you want.
4. Draw a temporary path with a 1-point stroke. Apply Scatter Brush 1. Select the Stroke Appearance and duplciate it. Apply Scatter Brush 2 to it. Duplicate the Stroke Appearance again, and apply Scatter Brush 3 to it.
5. Drag the whole path and drop it into the Graphic Styles palette to define a new Graphic Style. Now you can apply the whole Appearance stack to any other path(s) with one click.
Being Brushes, the fineness of the pattern can be adjusted by changing the weight of the strokes:
And, of course, you can apply other effects to the Brushes and strokes involved. For example, set the Colorization Mode of the Brushes to be able to change the color of the dither pattern; and/or apply Transform Effect to offset the pattern from the object to which it is applied (as for dithered drop shadows).

How do i create this look/Edit?

Hi People!
Im new to this website
Really hope someone can help me create the same effects as below:
Link to the facebook page:

Kind of a HDR/Topaz look, ive tried but still get nowhere near this kind of edit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou

Hey,
Is it something like the Dragan effect? Half the problem is knowing how to describe the effect before you can even look for help doing it. Good luck and whatever it is won't be a 2 minute process.

How do I create and move photos to a new folder on the iphone4?

How do I create and move photos to a new folder on the iphone4?

The way I do it is through iTunes. First you have to have to import or already have the photos in your computer where you have iTunes and sync your phone. When you have your phone connected and iTunes open click on the iphone under "devices" in the left sidebar list - then over to the right select Photos then Sync Photos and probably best to check selected folders unless you want them all, then choose the photo folders you want. You have to have your photos in folders for multiple folders to be created in your phone, the names will be the same as the folders in your computer. Alternately you can sync from one of your photo programs if they are listed as options and they will go to the phone in the structure you have your photos in in that program.
Hope this helps... There may be other ways and other third-party programs for doing this but I haven't looked...

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

How do I get this look using Aperture 3

Any idea how I can get this look (contrast, colors …) using Apple Aperture? http://www.moniekaansorgh.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/20120615_Jorieke_Christi aan_039.jpg

Hi Kris,
Don't worry. Your English is better than my Dutch!
You might want to look at taking some of the tutorials on Aperture offered at Lynda.com. You can sign up for a month and take as much training as you want to brush up on your skills.
However, for now, you can reduce the colour in you rimages by reducing the saturation level. If, however, you are happy with the flesh tones, but find the other colours too bright, us ethe Vibrancy slider to reduce all colours but the flesh tones. Try playing with the mid-contrast slider to see if that works for you. You can also try adjusting the black point to see if that makes a difference.
The good news is that Aperture is non-destructive in its editing, so you can go crazy trying all the adjustment settings to see what effect they have on your image without worrying about destroying your original photo.
So I would encourage you to try experimenting with the various adjustment options to learn what they do and by all means take somne training in the use of Aperture or buy a good book on the subject.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Bob

How do I create folders in photos?

How do I create folders in photo category?

It depends on the source for your photos. If you are using a photo application, create the albums you want using the photo app and select those to sync. If your are choosing a pictures folder, and you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.

How do you create folders in photo's

In an IPOD4 (or IPhone for that matter) how do you create folders within Photo's to segregate your pictures in to meanigfull collections, rather than just random bunches.
Thanks

Bummer - seems like wasted effort - to move all the photo's to a computer, delete then from the IPOD/IPHONE, organize them, and then move back to IPOD/IPHONE. Oh well, is what it is.
Thanks
Mike

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

Either add or credit card or
